Platte City’s public works sub-committee discussed the voluntary annexation request and a four-day work week proposal during its meeting on Monday night.

Jason Metten, city administrator, started the meeting by saying the way the timeline was designed for the voluntary annexation request, it allows for time and consideration of the proposal.

The proposed development by Bill Mann is located east of Platte City between Hwy. 92 and Interstate 29. The development would consist of 140 single family lots and 18 duplex lots on 68.73 acres. There is also proposed to be 12.53 acres of commercial development along 92 Highway.

A special meeting is scheduled to be held on Nov. 12 to have the aldermen consider the voluntary annexation.

Marsha Clark, alderman, said she wasn't for annexing the project because the people who would live there would not shop in Platte City, they would go south to Kansas City.

“I was reading in the newspaper about traffic going south and not to Platte City,” said Clark.
